Today is the Day
Today is the day, 34 years ago, that we laid Daddy to rest in the Welsh Settlement Cemetery. October 7, 1982–the trees had taken on their fall colors of bright reds and golden yellows. I remember the crisp fall Pennsylvania air had a woodsy smell, the smell of the trees and ground preparing to take […]
In God’s Perfect Timing, Of Course
What a gift I found this morning. Lately, I have been reading God’s Little Devotional Book of Prayer. I decided to look for one of my old prayer journals and see what prayers had been answered. I have several prayer journals—all only half filled. My life goes in waves. For several months, I write profusely […]
Good Evening—Welcome to Tanglewood
My two week vacation in the Berkshires was extended somewhat. Mom loves the Berkshires, so I asked her if she would like to join me for the two weeks. And because she loves the Berkshires, we decided to spend more time here—like six weeks. I have to admit, I could be swallowed up here in […]
Branding Rock Trek: A Journey through Time Clover Creek— Suzanne Huxhold
There are special places in this world. Places that, for often-inexplicable reasons, attract people and extract emotion far beyond what is considered normal. The Wailing Wall, for example, Mecca. Graceland. I went to one of those places a couple months ago. It wasn’t Graceland, but it was pretty amazing. I get misty just thinking about […]
The Stories that Bind Us–A Must Read
In my internet wanderings this morning, I ran across this article about the importance of knowing our family history. Today, more than ever, family stories are being lost. Many times, we find that the younger generation is too busy carving out an income for their own family to sit and ask Grandma or Grandpa about […]
Tripping around John’s Barn
Mom is 92 years young. She is the sweetest person you will ever meet, but sometimes her thought process makes me want to tear my hair out. Oh, don’t get me wrong. Mom is definitely in charge of all her mental faculties. She can remember everything in her youth, all the birthdays of her children, […]
What does Family Mean to You?
Mom is officially 92 years young today, actually 92 years and one day. I had great plans for her birthday. The menu had been set several weeks prior to the grandoccasion by the birthday girl herself—sloppy joes, hot dogs, potato salad and applesauce. The entertainment afterward promised to rock Mom’s socks off. The African Children’s […]
It Matters
This Sunday our pastor preached on Luke 13:10-13. “10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, 11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her […]
Passing of the Baton: Super Bowl Sunday
February 3, 2013 It’s Super Bowl Sunday XLVII. Being married to a football fanatic, I have had my share of Super Bowl Sundays…in fact, 29 to be exact! And I hosted many, many Super Bowl parties in those 29 years. I remember the first Super Bowl party in our brand new home 17 years ago. […]
